PREFACE 

It is a fact that there are in and around Pasadena a marvelous number 
of places, natural objects, mountain features, old Spanish structures, his- 
toric sites, geological field marks, etc., that have local names, historic 
associations, or scientific significance, and therefore have some measure 
of special interest for the more intelligent and knowledge-seeking class of 
tourists, or winter visitors, as well as for our own citizens. People have 
different tastes and inclinations as to what particular things they would 
like to see, or learn about. And this Hand-book gives a lead to just the 
things each wants to find, either to see for oneself, or to read full and 
authentic information about them. And thus you can plan most interest- 
ing and satisfactory trips of your own, not confined to the perfunctory 
routine courses, and make your own excursions by foot, or horseback, or 
carriage, or automobile, or electric cars. 

The names of places or objects, their location, the way of reaching 
them, and sometimes a few historic data are given. Then reference is 
made to pages in the large volume History of Pasadena where full par- 
ticulars may be found. Copies of said History are in shelf for free con- 
sultation at the Public Library, or in the libraries of Throop Polytechnic 
Institute, or the High School, or the Y. M. C. A. Or, it may be purchased 
from the Author, at 133 Mary Street ; or at Glasscock's Book Store, No. 
96-98 East Colorado Street.

PASADENA HAND-BOOK 7 

GiDDiNGS Far^e. — At the entrance to milliard Canyon, on the only

Note. — Dr. Reid.was the first person to discover and point out evi- 
dences of glacial action in this region — first publicly in February, 1894. 
(Privately, July 15, 1885.) See History of Pasadena, page 418 foot- 
note. His views were publicly ridiculed and disputed in 1894. But in 
■ November, 1895, John Muir, the greatest living authority on California 
glaciology, was here as a guest of Hon. T. P. Lukens. He was asked 
if he thought there had ever been glaciers in this region. He replied, 
"Oh yes, there is no sort of doubt about it." "But you have not men- 
tioned it in any of your writings," said Dr. Reid. To this Prof. Aluir 
answered: "No; the proofs of it have been so nearly obliterated by 
later phenomena that only experts or special students in that branch oi 
knowledge would recognize them; hence I have said nothing about it. 
But there can be no question that glaciers once existed in these moun- 
tains."

Octagon Oddities. — In San Gabriel village stand the ruins of two 
small brick octagon structures which have given rise to many stories that 
are pure fiction. The Spanish padres never saw or heard of them. They 
were built by an erratic Englishman named Dr. Monae, for porters' lodges 
to a great fantastical "manor house'' which he erected in the grounds back 
of them. Its walls of brick and stone converged inward to a peak, without 
wood supports or roofing of any sort. It was in process of building from 
1855 till 1862, and finally all caved in. Nobody hurt. The electric cars 
pass these ruins. 

Old Stone Mill. — See "Mill." 

Olive Oil Factory. — At Altadena.

down to Columbia street, is the principal "show street" of the city, being

322 to 325; also 349 and ZJZ- Reached by road to Las Casitas, about five 
miles northwest from Pasadena. 

Peace-Pipe Tree. The. — A great spreading live-oak tree at the Gar- 
fias spring, under which Gov. Portola smoked the peace-pipe with the 
native chief, Hahamovic, Jan. 17, 1770, the first time white men had ever 
.set foot on Pasadena soil. See article "Garfias Spring." 

Pine Canyon. — First one west from Eaton Canyon. Noted as having

RE.SERV0ik No. 2. — At junction of Euclid avenue and Villa street. 

River of Rocks. — On the upper pine tree section of the Mt. Lowe rail- 
road there are two instances where a tall shaft or column of rock had 
been left standing alone by the washing away of all surrounding .soil or 
loose substances; then an earthquake tremor toppled the column over, 
breaking it into many large angular fragments that still lie as they fell 
in a long straight line down the mountain side. John Aluir when here 
in Nov. 1895, lirst explained the mystery of this "River of Rocks," he 
having himself once witnessed t!<c falling of such a column in the high 
Sierras. 

Roosevelt's P.-nrk. — When President Roosevelt, May 8, 1903, was driv- 
ing down Grand avenue and caught sight of the Arroyo Seco's picturesque 
wildness from the Scoville bridge down to Columbia street, he exclaimed 
with glowing enthusiasm, "What a spl» ndid natural park you have right 
here! O Mr. Mayor, don't let them spoil that! Keep it just as it is!"

to 382; also page 380, foot-note. Tlu published story that Prof. Lowe

(iabriel peak, the highest of all. 

San Gabriel Old Mission -\nd Village. — About four miles southeast 
from Pasadena, via the public road from foot of Lake avenue through the 
Country Club's Golf Links and along the border of Wilson Lake. For full 
acct»unt of it see History of Pasadena, pages 33 to 57. A grape vine 
planted there by the padres about lOO years ago is still growing, vigorous 
and thrifty, in 1904. 

San Gabriel Peak. — Lies north of and behind Mt. Lowe as seen from 
Pasadena, and is 6,723 feet in altitude; the highest mountain top in this 
vicinity. Its base is reached by lujrse trail from Alpine Tavern, the ter- 
njinus of the Mt. Lowe Electric Railroad. Sec History of Pasadena, 
pages 370, 71,7^- 



PASADENA HAND-BOOK 13 

Sax Gabriel River. — A historic stream ten to twelve miles east of 
Pasadena. Ihe flood waters of all our local mountain canyons from Las 
Flores eastward flow into it ; and also all waters flowing from the east 
side of Orange Grove avenue. That is why Pasadena is the "Crown 
City" or head of the San Gabriel valley. See History of Pasadena, pages 
33, 91-94- 

San ^Iarino. — At southerly end of Shorb avenue off from East Cali-

Early in 1861. Prof. j. D. Whitnej^ State Geologist, had his camp here a 
few weeks while making a hasty geological reconnoisance of this region. 
See History of Pasadena, page 539. Then in 1883 Mrs. Helen Hunt Jack- 
son was a guest here about two weeks. She played with and petted baby 
Ramona Shorb and grew so fond of her that she fell in love with the name 
"Ramona," and thus came to decide on it for the heroine and the title 
name of her great story, although she took the personality of her heroine 
from ^Nlrs. Ramona Woife, whom she had met, and conceived a warm 
sympathy for at Temecula in April of the same year. See History of 
Pasadena, pages :^^:^, 346, 377-8; also 393, text and foot-note, about the 
grinding stones from the historic Old Stone Mill, which are now laid up 
for a horse block at the east front of this San ]\Iarino mansion. 

San Pasqual Creek. — The stream that used to flow down around the 
east foot of Raymond Hill. In 1833 some Spanish records speak of 
"Rancho el Rincon de San Pasqual" as in possession of Juan ]\Iarinae. 
The Mexican army was camped on its banks Jan. 10- 11, 1847. See article 
"'Adobe House" above. See History of Pasadena, pages 71 and 97.

the county road, leading via San Rafael-Heights pass to Eagle Rock. The 
(lam is a staunch stone structure clear down to bed rock. They were built 
by J. W. Scoville. Esq., who made all the picturesque and scenic wall-work 
and grading improvements thereabouts in 1894-5-6. 

ScoviLLE's Ridge Grade. — On top of the west Arro}-© hills, extend- 
ing northward from Buzzard cliff, half way to Jumbo Knob. — (See Hist. Pas.
